Bees laid claim to the infield so the Blue Jays and Angels left in a hurry
Bees. BEES.
The mere mention of them can strike fear in folks' hearts, and an angry, buzzing swarm of them taking over an infield is enough to drive a bunch of players -- including the Blue Jays and Angels, who fled in the third inning of the Halos' 4-0 win on Sunday -- running for cover:

In fact, speaking with MLB.com's Jack Baer after the game, Trout talked about his vantage point of the bee assault:
"I just looked at Encarnacion and he had about 12 of them on him. Flying around and landed on him. I looked up and there were just a bunch of them above him. I think they went into center field behind the wall. That's where we saw them last."
At any rate, he and everybody else took a break until the unwelcome visitors were dealt with and, after a 13-minute delay, the teams were back on the field.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia had this to say of their guests:
"I don't know if it was the same swarm in Arizona that hit us last year. We've had them occasionally here. We've got to share the world. That's the best way I can put it."
Stay safe, guys!
